A much better version of this exist. Available on ook_3D youtube, and it is available on this video (download).

Props-XML-Extractor

Important

props-xml-extractor is archived and use Node.JS v23.10.0. Unexpected updates may occur. This ONLY works with .YTYP files converted in .XML format from CODEWALKER.

This project started as a small Node.JS app for a friend. The use case was to retrieve all props / rooms used in a building/interior on GtaV. You retrieve a .ytyp file converted into .xml with CodeWalker who contains all props / rooms used by a building/interior. This helps to get props to import them in Blender to modify the building.

USAGE

1. In CodeWalker, extract a .ytyp file in .xml format, should get something like '[file_name].ytyp.xml'.
2. Add the .xml files to the "input" folder.
3. Run the main.js file using Node.JS v23.10.0 OR run the props-xml-extractor.exe with the "node_modules" folder. (Won't work otherwise)
4. Read the created '[file_name].ytyp.xml-result.txt' file in the result folder, containing all not-duplicated props/rooms used in the .ytyp file.

• If you use the .EXE file, you should have:

- [Your_Folder]
--- [node_modules]
--- [input]
------ your_file.ytyp.xml
--- [result]
------ your_file.ytyp.xml-result.txt
--- props-xml-extractor.exe

TOOLS

• Visual Studio Code
• Node.JS v23.10.0
• Module@node-xml-stream
• Module@postject@1.0.0-alpha.6
• SEA - Single executable applications

SEA - HOW TO BUILD YOURSELF

Use in a console (credits: Single executable applications from nodejs.org)

1. Generate the sea.blob

node --experimental-sea-config sea-config.json

2. Generate the .exe file named props-xml-extractor.exe

node -e "require('fs').copyFileSync(process.execPath, 'props-xml-extractor.exe')"

3. Inject the .blob into the .exe

npx postject props-xml-extractor.exe NODE_SEA_BLOB sea.blob ` --sentinel-fuse NODE_SEA_FUSE_fce680ab2cc467b6e072b8b5df1996b2

You will notice that to work, the executable need the "node_modules" folder from the source code. Because "SEA" can not add external modules to the executable.
